Nomad those are good questions. Not having the source code, I can't say what's modelled in the game but IRL if there are DC's detonating, the DD won't hear sh*t! The detonations will be much louder than any sound from your sub even at flank speed.
Regarding "splashes" nope I've never heard 'em and never gotten a report of DC's in the water from sonar. That's disappointing. So I "cheat" and if I have a close DD contact on sonar I go to external cam, if he's really close I watch him drop the DC's, wait a reasonable time then go to flank and knuckle port or starboard and order a change of depth to throw off his aim on the next run. When the explosions die down, I go back to 1/3rd.
OK so that's "cheating" but my sonarman should tell me when he hears a splash, right? A DC will make an unmistakable sound when it hits the water, he should hear it, right? But he don't, so I cheat...
